The River Freshney meeting on the 29th of September took place and although the turnout was not as large as expected there were some really positive suggestions about how we might look at tackling problems right along the Freshney. We are looking to start with a film documenting the current condition of the river and asking the residents along its course about their interests in helping develop and protect the river.
We also discussed the potential of a group which would represent all the wards along the course of the river which would be a more effective process when considering large funding bids.
I am in the process of editing the discussions which took place and will put a version here when its ready.
